Don't know of a workaround but it's bugged for me as well, as well as other similar quests (scan stuff) plus turian ark which requires scanning of life pods. It's been reported to bioware so let's hope it gets fixed with next patch/update.
Thanx buddy. i imagined that after the 1.05 update Quest related bugs wud be removed but the problem's still there.
So what shud i do? Continue playing and solving other quests? Is this a Outpost Viability breaker?
It's just a sidequest, not worth the effort. I don't remember it adding to viability, but even if it does, it would only be like 2 points. You can get tons more points elsewhere. It's very easy to go way past 100% viability on any planet.
I had like 15-20 sidequests undone when I finished & uninstalled the game. All planets' viability at 100% regardless.
lol yea i just like to cross my T's and dot my i's .
anyways game is being Patched to v1.06 right now while i type. so..keeping my fingers crossed.
EA promises to address a host of issues including but not limited to Side Quests.
